these gatesso that-the bars of one are disposed at right-angles to those of the other that the oil is more efficiently spread or broken up, thereby-producing a pure oil-gas.

The to of the combustion-chamber is providedwit an opening 17, which is normally closed by a 'heav metal lid 18, which is hinged to the shel as at 19, and is of sutil cient wei ht to prevent its being lifted bythe force of the blast. .1

20 20 re 'resent legs or standards, which are secur to lugs or flanges 21, 21 on the under side of the burner-shell'and act as supports therefor.

The o erationy of the invention is as fol- 'l0wsL:-- 7hen itis desired to start the burner, an oil saturated wick or roll of cotton, Wadding or the like is passed through the opening 17 inthe shell and placed in'rthe bottom of the combustion-chamber 1 and lighted. The

valve in the jet 5 is then opened and the liq-` uid hydrocarbons emitted'therefromare discharged against the conical projection 11 and batllelate 10 by which it is caused to spread or, ra iate laterally in s ray form. vThis s ray is lcaught by the airfglast which enters the combustion-chamber through the neck 2 and ipe 3'and with which it mixes and is forcefu ly carried by it through and over the lame arising from the burnin material in said chamber by'which it is ignited. As `the blast is forced through thee reader-gates 18 and 14 the air and hydrocar ons are caused to spread or be broken u thereby forming a purer gas than would lie possible without such gates, and the free passage of the flameblast from. the burner is also obstructed and baffled so as to cause the i niting flame to more thorou hly act on t e gases. It is foundy that te burner will not work when these gates are both eliminated from its construction and that the operation is not entirely satisfactory when only one gate isiem- .sire to .be limited to the exact details of construction shown and described, for obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in Having thus described my invention, what -I claim as newand desire to secure by Letters Patent, is,

1. The combination with the combustionchamber of'an oil-burner, of a plurality of spreader-gates through which the products of combustion pass, saidgates being axially arran ed therein and adjustable toward :and away om each other.

rlhe combination with the combustion' chamber of an oil-burner, and the jet tapping one end thereof,' of .a baffle-member and `a spreader-gate disposed in opposite portions ob the chamber and being relatively adjusta le. 'l

53. The combination with the combustionlongitudinallywithin the shell, a ba elate asoma.

-element adjustably carrying said gates. y

4. The combination with thecombustionchamber ofan oil-burner, of a baffle-member and a .plurality of spreader-gates, and a coml mon member carrying all of said parts, the|` spreader-gates being adjustable relative to t e baHe-member and to each other.

5. .An oil-burner, comprisingjin combination a shell having one end angled and conjj tracted to form a discharge nozzle, its other fr', V

end contracted and forming an air inlet, and f its central portion forming. a combustionVH chamber and provided with a' stoppered' openin a jet ta ped into the air-inlet end of. the/she l, and a aille member and spreader` means disposed intermediate the shell endsl said member and means being relatively 2id-85' justable. I v

6. An oil-burner, comprising a shell forming a mixin -chamber and a combustionchambei; an vhaving an opening over the combustion-'ch amber and its ends an led and one forming an air-blast intake and t e other a discharge nozzle, a lid for the opening, an oil-jet tapped into the intake end of the' shell, a rod cariied'by and projecting within the shell, a baffle-plate carried by the rod in the line of discharge ofthe oil-jet, and a plurality of s reader means carried by the rod interme'iate the battle-plate ano the end of the dischar e nozzle.

7. A urner havingv a discharge nozzle and 1.90

a crooked air-blast intake at opposite ends, a jet at the intake endffor the discharge of hydrocarbon liquids tothe burner, a baflleplate having a conical projection in the path of-discharge of the et, and a spreader-gate between the ballleplate and nozzle.

8. A burner having a `discharge nozzle, an' air intake, `a jet ta ped into its intake end, and a combustion-c amber intermediate the nozzle and intake'ends, in combination with a baffle-plate and aplurality of s readergates disposed between the jet an nozzle, each of said gates bein relatively adjustable and formed of paralle bars disposed at an angle to the bars of the other gate.

9. A burner comprising an Aoblong shell having its ends an led and one forming a dischar e nozzle an the other-communicatingwit an air-blast, a rod or bar disposed carried by. the rod adjacent the air-inta re, a pluralityof s readerates carried by the rod in advance o the ba elate, and a jet disposed to discharge a ydrocarbon liquid against the rear face of the baille-plate, .substanti'ally as described.

10. An oil-burner comprising a shell forining a lmixing-chamber and a combustionchamber intermediate its ends and having its ends angled and one forming an air-blast iu-
